Abstract
Doubling in Romance languages is subject to Kayne’s generalisation, which states that a doubled object must be introduced by a preposition.
I am grateful to Sabine Iatridou, Michael Hegarty, Spyridoula Varlokosta, Elena Anagnostopoulou and Roumyana Izvorski for their considerable contributions to the conception and expression of the ideas presented in this paper. I also wish to thank an anonymous reviewer for a multitude of constructive suggestions. I remain solely responsible for all errors.
